I am really excited to be doing this round robin as their seems to be a lot of interest in it. Below is the list of people who said they were interested in entering. I need confirmation from all of these people that they for sure want to enter and that they agree to all of the rules. Please post telling me that you're in and then send me an e-mail with your mailing address so we have a master list of where the package will be sent.

1 - All chips put into the round robin need to be in the same or better condition as the ones taken out. If you take a chip that's in uncirculated condition, an uncirculated chip needs to be put back in its place. If you take a chip that shows wear, a chipin the same or better condition needs to be put in its place.
2 - All exchanges need to be on a value for value trade - not a 1-1 or 2-2 etc...
3 - Poker chips are my number 1 collectible so if you are to take out any non casino chips (slot cards, cards, ash trays, matches, etc...) they can be replaced with casino chips as long as the value matches up or exceeds the items removed.
4 - Casino chips need to be replaced with casino chips but if you take any fantasy chips, samples, promo chips, etc... they can be exchanged with the same or with casino chips
5 - Since obsolete Nevada chips seem to be the most popular collectible they need to be replaced with other obsolete Nevada chips
6 - Values need to be fair. For example, if you take a chip worth $20 you need to replace it with a chip of equal rarity / value. Do not replace it with 3 or 4 common chips that you think equal the same price as a group.
7 - know the values of the chips you're taking. If you are unsure, look them up or ask other people to make sure you are giving fair compensation.
8 - You are responsible for all shipping costs and getting the package sent to the next participant as quickly as possible. We will be using a medium flat rate box and I believe it will be around $12-13 to ship. Every time the package is shipped a tracking number will need to be provided to me. I am unsure if tracking is included on the flat rate boxes but if it's not, it needs to be added.
9 - When you receive the box you are more than welcome to add more items to it as long as they will fit in the box. Please don't fill the box with ashtrays or anything like that - stick to smaller items like poker chips and the like. The more people that add extra to the box the more fun this will be for everybody!
10 - Not all of the chips that I have put into the round robin are in perfect condition. Some do show wear and I understand that some people wouldn't want these in their collections but someone might and that's why they are included. I have also added some better chips that have some kind of damage or imperfections that could work as fillers in a collection or may be good in a display frame since at least one side shows well - these are being shipped in a separate baggie so they are easily identifiable.
11 - Everyone needs to either take a picture or a scan of all the chips that they take and a picture of all the chips they replace them with. I was trying to avoid this but I heard from way to many people that ran these in the past and they say it is a must. The scans of chips taken and replaced need to be sent to me.
These should be the basic rules but I am able to change them at any time or ad more rules as I see fit. Lets make this round robin as fun as possible and make sure that we pay lots of attention to the condition of the chips that we are placing in it. Thanks a lot and as soon as I get this list of participants verified we will figure out the order of who it will be shipped to. Hopefully the box will be sent to the first participant early this week. Thanks a lot, Dan R-8220
